Chris,

The design in the top pic, is pretty tricky to setup.
As you probably allready knew.
I found, that when running on carpet, the old(er) skool front beam front end will work better and is way easier to setup.

I know, I know...not to many setup options but when running it for a while, the laptimes are flatter and the end result faster.

Maybe another thing to try in the future

Start around 60mm. I like about 67 but you have to run less boost to pull it. Lap times are better for it though.

Wow 60 mm damn ok ! Tx will take this info over to the tekin thread and see what settings the guys suggest

Props on the avatar RacinJ. That's my favorite race car EVER....

Ian,
Grand Finale at The Gate this weekend, should be a good one.

Dad and I are working out the details. Looking about 90% sure right now Chuck.......

Ran my R12 with a HW 1S the other day (4.0T comp2 SP motor)... was geared to a 37mm roll-out (88/24, 43mm wheels). 119_MOD FW was tuned down (DRRS =1, no boot, no timing). Kit ran well and was plenty quick... however, after running the car for about 5mins, the ESC was hot to the touch (no heatsink and fan due to the low bodyshell). The motor was warm but i could hold my finger on it without getting burned....

just want to know if i'm over geared or under geared? or is it normal to have the esc run very hot (wasn't able to temp it though).

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

I have only run about 5 or 6 packs in a mod 12th recently, but hot esc and cooler motor has been my experience too with an RS Pro.

I usually run 96/23

My 12R5 has a MurfDogg 4t with a Tekin RS (not RS Pro) at 42 roll in Dual Mode.
Endbell at zero deg.
Motor and esc after 8mins never over 100f
Tekin internal temp light at 1st mark.
It is very smooth and has tons of rip.

This is on Hi-Bite carpet 90x45 track.

Ian, Hope you and your dad can make it. Want to talk to you about The Halloween Classic and The Indoor Champs.

Thanks for the feedback.
Andrew, what RO are you using?

here's a vid of the track we play at... not quite sure how long the back straight is... maybe 40ft?

also, i assume you guys are running rx packs with your RS'... care to show pix on how its wired?

Thanks!

I'm still running the same RS & TQ Booster since I built the car new about 2 yrs ago.
Works great.

hey Dave, is that with 1 or 2 caps installed?

I haven't put the 2nd cap on yet, i will try and get that installed this week.
